His Family.

His Family.
Ex-Gov. Alex. Shepherd surprised
his friends on Saturday by his early ar
rival OF "Bleak House," his old home, near
Silver Springs. Maj. Moore was the first
person aware OF his coming. A dispatch
was received by him from the governor
asking that permission be obtained OF the
Baltimore and Ohio officials to allow the
express train to stop at Silver Springs, and
also that his family be notified OF his com
ing. The major had but little time to make
the arrangements, but he succeeded In
carrying out the requests. The governor
was met at Silver Springs when the
Cincinnati express reached there at 1;l5
y. m. by his son and two daughters.
Mrs. Shepherd allgbted from the train first
and assisted her husband to get of, and he,
after embracing his children, shook the
hand of his old friend, Mr.. VIM. Pierce
Bell, very warmly. The governor showed
traces OF his long illness, and seems to
have lost considerable flesh. He said ho
had suffered terribly from the wound re-
ceived while riding on horseback In u tun-
mel In one OF his mines. The wound, he
said, was healing very nicely, bnt he wore
bandage about his head. During his
seven years. absence he has worked hard,
and by systematic effort has developed his
Batipolis mines into paying Institutions.
After resting few days he will take q
drive Into town to SEQ come Of his old
